I think when I upgraded from RH6.2 saytime would not work well anymore. What I did was change the bottom lines in saytime.sh as follows: cat $SAYFILES > saytemp # cat $SAYFILES > /dev/audio (original disabled) play -t ul -r 8000 saytemp and it worked ever since thru RH7.3. Regards -- Peter

As usual, helpful suggestions, Ray. Thank you. As I often do, I seem to have mistakenly presumed my first exposure to a given component (Aptitude) as more peculiar to the context in which I encountered it (the Libranet distro) than it really is. So, I now learn that this is a Debian application.

James I have installed Debian Woody on my laptop without too much trouble but am having fits trying to get Woody installed on my desktop. Could you tell me how you did the install using Knoppix? I may try that route because I do enjoy the distro, just having a tough time getting it installed.
